I requested a spark plug replacement for my Honda Accord, and the response through Yelp was very quick. The pricing was also fair and competitive compared with other mobile and traditional mechanic shops. When Ricardo arrived, he was professional, knowledgeable, and took the time to point out a few other issues with my car. He replaced the spark plugs without any problems and made the entire process easy and convenient. I'll definitely be reaching out to Ricardo for future repairs. Great service and a great experience overall. Thank you! read more

Shady company. Asking for money before they come and when I don't want to pay he texts " we don't feel comfortable looking at the car you have anyways" Happy to take my business elsewhere. Car mechanics are a dozen a dime. The car is at my house. I happily offered to pay upon arrival or before he disclosed the diagnostics results ( which seems fair to me I don't have free money to Venmo night prior to someone I don't know) but I then received the very rude text. Again, take your business elsewhere. read more

WOW! WOW! WOW! 10/10 Ricardo went well above and beyond. I can't recommend him enough. My daughter is currently going to college at UCSD and had her starter go out. Im the kind of guy that is able to fix things like this but hard to do from so far away. It's hard to find a trustworthy mechanic especially so far away. Not only was he able to come out and diagnose the problem the same day but he was able to order parts and repair it quickly. It was a tough starter change due to the location and having to remove the manifold ect. I know because ive done it once already and its a very complex repair. The parts cost more than anticipated due to the extra gaskets and coolant needed and he still honored the original quote. We gave him extra because of all the extra work he did. He topped off her break fluid, air in the tires, gave it a once over to make sure that it was tip top shape. Also gave my daughter an education on her car. Even took pictures of all the parts and video of it running smooth. As a father it puts me at ease knowing that I can call him in the future I wish I had mechanics like him closer to me. EXCELLENT JOB Thank you so much! GREAT JOB read more

I've use mobile mechanics a few times never had a bad experience. Reasonable rates. Makes sure your car is serviced correctly. He did front brakes for me, my 2003 new VW beetle TDI at a reasonable rate. Would use him again thanks read more

Absolutely awesome! Had my brakes changed within 40 minutes and made sure everything was good. I highly recommend this company to anyone who needs house calls for their car! 100/10 read more

If you want a mobile mechanic that is reliable, responsive and values your time, I would highly recommend not to use this company. I scheduled an appointment well in advance and when I followed up, they used a vague excuse and went to the DMV instead. When attempting to reschedule that day, they kept pushing the time back and got offended by me continuously following up. I rearranged my entire day for this and needed my car to get fixed as soon as possible, but it is what it is. If you value your time and need someone dependable, I'd strongly recommend looking elsewhere. A mechanic should be as reliable as the service they promise--sadly, that wasn't the case here. read more

Poor communication, was able to talk to a technician but the response time was not good. Was able to schedule an appointment but was canceled due to rain, technician did not reach out to cancel appointment either, I had to reach out and they canceled last minute. Unable to schedule after that. read more

Ricardo gave an extremely detailed pre-purchase vehicle inspection that ended up saving me thousands of dollars!! Thanks again Ricardo!!

Overpriced. The mechanic that serviced my vehicle tried to upsell the hell out of me with replacing my starter for almost 1k. I bought my own starter and got it installed for under $300. read more

I initially contacted Ricardo via Yelp, and I was impressed with his prompt responses. He came out to my office within 24 hours to inspect my car and diagnose the issues, demonstrating professionalism and expertise during his thorough inspection. However, when I received a quote via email after the inspection, the quote was significantly higher than what Ricardo and I had discussed in person earlier that afternoon. I eventually took the car to Audi for an estimate and it came in around the same price. We ended up having the repairs through the dealer, since there was an active recall on the front seat restraint system, plus a complimentary loaner for the three days it was in the shop. I'll use Ric for future issues for sure. read more

Great job! They came out same day to replace my battery for a very reasonable price! The technician even cleaned off a bunch of leaves from our car that has been sitting for a while. Great service! read more

Ricardo has no business running a mobile mechanic. He's unreliable, uncommunicative, and doesn't stand by his word. He gave me a quote for a brake job on a 2015 CR-V. After talking for a couple of days he starts to get really short with me and says parts are more expensive than he thought. While it's disappointing, I told him it's ok. I'll pay more. Then he says the parts are on backorder. Fine. I told him I can get the parts. That's when he goes off the radar and stops responding. I finally do get a response a week later and he says he works until 4pm and to call after that time so I do. You guessed it. He doesn't pick up. I text him. Nothing. I try again the next day, nothing. He vaporized into thin air. The problem I have with all of this is that I asked my wife to leave her car and take my car because he was supposed to come work on it. Then he leads me on by saying that he has a source that can get the parts. When you have car issues an unreliable mechanic is the LAST thing you need. I would gladly pay more for a reliable mechanic. Ricardo, stick to your day job. Leave the business for businesses that can handle taking a phone call and making appointments. Thanks for wasting two weeks of my time waiting around for you. Advice to others: HARD PASS ON THIS GUY! Read the other reviews, they're exactly like my experience. read more

Great service and responsive. Really helped me out and saved the day for me. Thank you.

Excellent service provided by Ricardo on my 2010 Volvo, he went above and beyond to make sure my car was ready to go. When I requested a quote I received fast, knowledgeable responses and it really put me at ease to know this would be a great company to take care of my car. Price was excellent and they provide me a Military discount. I would pick them again for all my needs and will recommend to anyone! read more

Ricardo was prompt, offered me a good deal, and let me watch what he was doing and learn from his experience and expertise. Don't hesitate to hire Mobile Mechanic Services. read more

I highly recommend Ric for any of your needs. He was able to schedule me in for brakes to be done on a Sunday morning, had the best rate, and put in the time and effort to do a quality job, went above and beyond in many ways and I will be using again for some of the other work that needs done on my range rover sport. If you're looking for work to get done, and the convenience of having someone come to you - you won't find a better resource to depend on than Ric. read more

Fixed my 02 sensor on my RAV4. I was having a hard time getting it loose and he was able to fix it for me.

Ric did an amazing job! I highly recommend his services. You won't regret it. Quick and responsive! Thanks much Ric!

My BMW front brakes were making noise and were vibrating. I contacted Mobile Mechanic Services and Ric responded with a request for my VIN .. he quoted me and we worked out a date and time that worked for me and him. It was two days after my original contact with him ... he came out and was here just a short time and replaced the breaks. His price was fantastic and the breaks work perfectly! This is the only way to go, why go to a service center when he will come to you and you save money as well!Ric is a seasoned professional and cleans up and explains everything... I'm recommending him to everyone I know!!! read more

Mobile Mechanic Services - Getting ready to change my break pads! - Auto Repair Near Me - San Diego, California

I contacted Ric via yelp when I noticed a problem with my breaks and wanted to get them checked out. My family and I were on a road trip and had just driven a few hundred miles with plans to drive a few hundred more in the coming days, so I needed some one to help me assess the problem and if needed to do repairs ASAP. Ric was very responsive and was able to accommodate a last minute consultation on my breaks. He came to me at my VRBO, and examined the breaks. He let me know that they needed replacing (showing me signs of wear, measurements, and cracks that had developed), then provided a quote for parts and a timeline for the fix, which I absolutely needed to happen the next day. Amazingly, he got all the parts ordered and delivered and came back the next day, then replaced all the breaks. It was not an easy job: I have an old car that has seen a lot of weather so it's rusty and has original parts that had never been replaced in some cases. Ric explained what he was seeing and communicated about the steps he was taking and the process he was using. The job did take longer than he expected, only because my car had old parts that basically fell apart when he touched them. It was a disaster waiting to happen and I am so glad he took a look and was able to help us on such short notice. He was incredibly detail-oriented and made sure to do everything properly and well, rather than quickly and poorly. He did a great job, and he had an amazing attitude about the whole thing, even if the job was harder or took longer than he expected. For the time he spent and the work he put in, it was a great value and wonderful service. Being far from home, I was stressed about being stranded without a car and no way to get home if the car was not safe to drive or easily repaired. Ric assured me he would take care of it and wouldn't leave until the car was in tip top shape. He was exceedingly accommodating and did a great job. Thank you Ric! read more

Service was great! Ric was quick and responsive. Value was reasonable. 5-star service. 10/10 recommend!

Ricardo is outstanding! He was prompt and professional. My son's car would not start and we suspected the starter. He did a full diagnosis and replaced the starter. Look no further if you need a mobile mechanic! read more

What could improve, everything starting with the way he answers the phone. He said he was very busy but could make it after 5;30 which I was fine with but he never showed and never called or text that he wouldn't be coming and never contacted me the next day. This is not the kind of business man I want to do business with ever. read more

Unreliable. Made an appointment and did not show up. Wasted half my Saturday waiting. read more

This business is a total fraud. Cancelled two appointments on me, claiming first mechanic did not have correct tool. Second appointment, text said mechanic had arrived...no mechanic to be found. Do not give credit card number, as they will charge you for no services at all. BEWARE! read more

I did not do business with them, but they were quick and polite in response of a message.

This mechanic is legit. My alternator and battery died over the weekend, requiring it to be jumped several times. By the time I brought it home from a long drive to LA, I knew it wouldn't start the next morning. We messaged him on Yelp late Saturday night and he looked up all our parts, picked it up, and came out to our house on Sunday and took care of everything. His knowledge was impressive and his rates reasonable! He tested everything after and his work is warrantied. I wish we had known about him earlier!!!! read more

Ricardo worked on my 2012 camry LE about two weeks ago, as my alternator needed to be replaced and he did a great job explaining to me everything going on. He even showed me the codes he was seeing on his tablet and cleared all the fault codes. He replaced my alternator, cleaned my battery and even let me do a test drive to make sure everything was okay. I inquired about his services on yelp a few days before he came to my house and he was immediate to respond back (within an hour). A few days later my car crapped out again stalling at a stop sign and I asked him if he could check it again even though he already had done the repair job of replacing my alternator. He drove all the way down from North County to Chula Vista in the after noon last Tuesday to do a follow-up and even checked the codes my car was displaying. He didnt leave until it was fixed which was around 8:30pm. He helped reset my car to work again and it has been working good ever since so far . He didn't charge me for the follow-up even though I needed immediate help a few days later. Thank you Ricardo for your help! read more

Horrible service. Doesn't show up . Says get back to you but doesn't . Truly no way to run a business. Would gave a zero if I could

Great service detail on point will be contacting him for any other car troubles he explains in detail what he is doing and sends you all the information you need to know. read more

I initially contacted him in desperate need of some quick and easy help, at first he seemed responsive, genuine and reasonable. It quickly turned into being completely ignored and left in a situation going from bad to worse without so much as an explanation. I was more then willing to pay even double the initial quote, I waited patiently for a response and thanked him several times in our initial conversation yet he had no problem leaving my family's mode of transportation and livelihood in a situation where without help we would lose it. he did tell me at the time he was on a job but ensured me he would get back to me and stay in contact. nearly 2 days later im running out of time still seeking help and he is unwilling to even communicate. apparently he doesnt like money and doesnt stay true to his word. look elsewhere san diego. read more

Ricardo is awesome! He helped me out with a dead battery and he knew all the tips and tricks on how to fix the issue. He also went to the auto store to make sure I got the right battery that fit my needs. The prices and service were quick and reasonable as well. Would recommend read more

The diagnostic report with the quote I received is exactly what I needed . Very knowledgeable mechanic. I hope next time he comes on time and provides this report at the exact day when he promised . read more

I'm all for the convenience of anything mobile, mechanics included. My battery died. I drive a BMW 328i. Ricardo ran my VIN number to make sure he got the correct battery. We scheduled an appointment the following morning at 10 AM. He arrived on time. Took him no more than 25 minutes then ran diagnostics to check everything else out. He asked me to drive my car and make sure everything was good to go. I could not have asked for stellar service. Ricardo went above and beyond. I will definitely be calling Ricardo for any and all mechanical repair services that I need. You won't be disappointed. Genuine guy to boot. read more

BUYER BEWARE we used this "company" for our truck repairs. They are not auto mechanics but boat mechanics that moonlight as auto mechanics. We had problems with our truck starting so we hired them based on their reviews, big mistake. It was a $40 part that needed to be replaced but when he was replacing the part he broke the key off in the ignition. He damaged the truck so much that we had to replace the steering column, The new mechanic we used for the steering column explained that these guys have no idea what they're doing and shouldn't be around any vehicles. They are not mechanics. You've been warned. read more

I think Ric was really GREAT!! He was polite, worked hard and did three brake jobs for me in one afternoon. He had all the tools, hoists, compressors, etc. with him and showed me the parts he was installing. My ONLY suggestion was there were two kinds of brake pads for one of my vehicles....he brought the wrong ones. If he would have brought BOTH to my job and then returned whichever ones were incorrect to his supplier, it would have saved both of us quite a bit of time. I would absolutely use Ric again, polite and competent! read more

I was going to let this go and ignore the fact that the business tried reaching out after 4 days but now that they have their friend harassing, I guess I can just update this review to show snapshots of how childish people can get. To Zermino or whatever the hell your name is, it's not hating when someone that's supposed to respond within "10 mins" does not until two hours after I call them THEN 4 days laterz Seeing how you have reviewed 11 places giving all 1 stars except for your friend's service does show bias. I do like the compliment through Yelp. If you're trying to send a hater comment, maybe use "message" next time LOL. ***Original Review*** Not sure where the 5 stars come from but I contacted these people Thursday night because of car problems. Got a text asking for the car and issue and a link to their Yelp. It's now Sunday. Haven't heard back since. I guess they wanted me to leave them a bad review as opposed to providing any sort of service. Glad there were other more responsive mobile car service groups. read more

I needed my front brakes done. Had all the parts but none of the shops would work on my vehicle with customer supplied parts. Decided this would be a great job for a mobile mechanic. No regrets.
